Good news girls - researchers are believed to have sussed out a way of making a man stay faithful, (sort of).

It is something that any single woman who has been hurt in the past is likely to have dreamt of, but now a new 'love hormone' has been discovered by scientists in Germany which could stop men from straying.

In a study, men who were married or in a serious relationship were given a dose of a nasal spray containing a hormone, before being left alone in a room with an attractive female.

Amazingly, the boffins found that those with a partner felt more comfortable with the female sat further away than the single men, and those spoken-for were said to grow increasingly uncomfortable as the women drew closer to ask them questions.

While it might not be practical to force your new partner to have a whiff of the hormone before a night on the town to see if he is committed, it is still an exciting development on what the researchers have referred to as a 'fidelity marker'.
